The Love song of J. Alfred Prufrock - Imagery, Literary Allusion, Struc
The Love Song That was never Sung A love life song or a transaction of love usually includes a culminating point where the suitor finally professes his love toward the wo objet dart. However T.S. Eliots The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is almost a acquire on how to dissuade oneself from professing love to a wo adult male. It does this by have several different poetic methods to dis prank a situation of despair and trapped isolation. Basically, Alfred is pass off on the fact that he wants to be a part of this womans whom he loves- life, but he cannot apply up himself to the complete the act, to say I love you. The poem itself consists of all of the reasons, spill through Alfreds head, why he should not profess his love. Imagery, literary allusion, and structure are prominent tools used by Eliot to convey the mans feelings in the poem. Eliots criticism of the new(a) man of his conviction is another strong theme in this poem. A demonstration of this is clear when Eliot presents Alfred as a modern man, and then he criticizes modern manpowers being with Alfreds thoughts. The inability of taking action, or cowardice, is evidently the over arching theme in this presentation. One of the minor themes that play well into the all encompassing theme is Eliots interpretation of the modern man.The modern man, according to Eliot, is someone who lacks the ability to labour a bounce of faith or risk something no matter the importance. Prufrock is an extreme theatrical of the modern man and Eliot demonstrates this with these lines, There will be time, there will be time...To wonder, Do I make bold? and Do I dare? (26, 38). Time and doubt create a barrier between Prufrocks aggregate and his actions which yields him from displaying his tr... ...role of the Fool constitute in line 118. Once again, Alfred has found even more excuses for not taking any action by relating how he believes he will fail because of his lack of great status. Th erefore, he never did take that leap of faith that he earnestly valued to. No one can ever have courage without charge because then courage would not require so much heart and strength to muster. Even though Alfred possessed a certain fear, he did not have enough heart to be courageous and take a step bigger than those measured in coffee spoons. Therefore, with the use of, imagery, literary allusion, and structure, Eliot was able to create a poem that criticized the modern man that affected his heart. Just think--why men said to themselves--that they finally had a magisterial and courageous cause to fight for when The Great War began only a few years after this poem was published.
